Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler of the Center for Immigration Studies have published a study called ?Immigrant Gains and Native Losses In the Job Market, 2000 to 2013.? The title tells the tale ? immigrant gains in employment have been substantial and natives have been the losers. According to Camarota and Zeigler:
A new analysis of government data shows that all of the net gain in employment over the last 13 years has gone to immigrants (legal and illegal). From the first quarter of 2000 to the first quarter of 2013, the number of natives working actually fell by 1.3 million while the overall size of the working-age (16 to 65) native population increased by 16.4 million. Over the same time period, the number of immigrants working (legal and illegal) increased by 5.3 million.
In addition to the decline in the number of natives working, there has been a broad decline in the percentage holding a job that began before the 2007 recession. This decline has impacted natives of almost every age, race, gender, and education level. The total number of working-age (16 to 65) natives not working ? unemployed or out of the labor force entirely ? was nearly 59 million in the first quarter of this year, a figure that has changed little in the last three years and
